24 alternatives to ShipAhead
I’ve spent months building SaaS apps with Nuxt and kept hitting the same wall — setup time. Every project needed auth, payments, a dashboard layout, SEO setup, and deployment config from scratch. So I built *ShipAhead*, a Nuxt 4 boilerplate that’s production-ready out of the box. It’s designed for developers who want to skip the repetitive setup and start building real features immediately. *Tech stack:* Nuxt 4, Vue 3, TailwindCSS, DaisyUI Auth: Better Auth DB: Drizzle ORM + Postgres (Neon) Storage: Cloudflare R2 Email: Resend + Vue Email Payments: Stripe Analytics: Umami AI: OpenRouter API…

Nuxtbe▲9Hey HN! A month ago, I shared Nuxtbe — my SaaS starter kit built with Nuxt and Supabase. The goal was simple: stop rebuilding the same auth, payments, and dashboard setup for every new project. The response has been encouraging: - First paying customers came in - Added AI features (chatbot, image generation) based on requests - Built out a directory template for marketplace-style apps - Polished the docs and developer experience I originally built this to scratch my own itch — I was tired of spending weeks on boilerplate before getting to the actual product. Turns out other indie makers had…

Hey HN, I'm a solopreneur and I ship apps like a madman. 16 startups in the last 2 years. I realized I was doing the same thing over and over: set up DNS records, connect DB, listen to Stripe webhooks... So I built ShipFast for 2 reasons: 1. Save time and focus on what matters: building a business 2. Avoid headaches like emails ending in spam or waiting 3 days for Google to approve I hope this boilerplate will be as helpful to you as it is for me. Would love your feedback pls Marc

So I made Indie Kit Login users, process payments, send emails at lightspeed. Spend your time building your startup, not integrating APIs.
